Oh, I see it. Huh.

That's Mondo Burger, Ed.

Yeah, they open

Cool! Huh.

It's not cool, Ed.

They're competition.

Big competition.

Yep.

They could put us

That's right.

What are we going

to do then?

All right, now, come on!

Good Burger has been here

All right, people.

Two more minutes

before the end of the test.

I know what you're thinking,

my brother--

\"Why? Why would this man

\"give us a test on

the last day of school

before summer starts?\"

Well I'm going to tell you why.

Because...

the mind never sleeps.

Can I get

a witness?

Hallelujah.

Out of here.

Summer vacation,

bow-chicka-bow ♪

Summer vacation... ♪

What's your hurry, my brother?

Huh, my hurry

is that it's now

officially summer vacation

and yet,

I'm still looking at you.

You're an amazing student.

I mean, you sit there,

you get your

test done first

and you were

concentrating so hard,

I thought you were asleep.

Next time make it

more challenging.

That's what I want

to talk to you about.

Challenges, potential,

using your mind,

'cause I'm worried about you.

I'm worried about you, too.

Have you seen yourself lately?

The 'fro, the boots,

and this jacket...

You have

a nice summer, Shaft.

Yo, Dex, wait up.

So, uh, how you think

you did on your exam?

Sorry, summer vacation

That means that school,

work or anything of that nature

is now officially off limits

for the next three months.

Whoo!

Nice car.

This yours?

No, it's my mom's,

but she's away on

business in New York.

And she lets you drive this

while she's out of town?

No.

Ed!

Ed... Spatch,

will you move?

Ed... Ed!

Ed, we have a delivery.

But I don't do deliveries.

You do for the time being.

I fired O'Malley.

How come?

Because the boy showed up

to work without his pants.

Oh.

Now, please, make this delivery.

The address is on the back.

Oh.

It shall be delivered.

So what's your plan

for the summer?

Ha! Let me tell you, boy,

I plan to wake up every

day at around noon,

then I'm going to

lay out by the pool,

order some Chinese food,

maybe invite some fine

females over to share

an egg roll

or two.

Then I'm going to

wake up the next day,

do it all over again.

Ha, ha!

Know what I'm saying?

Say, man, you're lucky.

My folks is making me

get a summer job.

See, that's it right there.

You got to explain things

to parents.

Like summer vacation.

The key word there

is \"va-ca-tion.\"

See what I'm saying?

♪ She's a dude,

'cause we're all dudes

♪ Hey, I'm a dude,

he's a dude... ♪

♪ She's a dude, whoa,

'cause we're all dudes

♪ Hey, I'm a dude... ♪

Look out!

Whoa!

Just get off the...

My afro.

My afro!

Why?!

Oh, brother Reed,

you have messed up my afro.

All right, don't worry, bro.

Just be cool

and let me handle this.

All right, Jake?

Jake?

Jake!

Oh, no.

Oh, baby.

Oh!

Oh, no.

Oh! Oh, my grill.

Oh, Black Beauty, oh.

Oh!

Oh!

See, when I left

school today

I didn't think I was going

to run into you this summer.

Or I didn't think you

was going to run into me.

I mean, just run

into me like this.

You're in trouble

with me, young man.

You're in trouble

with me!

No, listen, Mr. Wheat,

listen.

It wasn't my fault.

See, this nut

on some roller blades,

he skated into my vision sight,

and I couldn't

see nothing,

so I swerved...

Roller blades?

Roller blades?!

And we was spinning

around like that...

I don't want

to hear it!

...and then

I couldn't control it...

I don't want to hear it.

Know how much

that car cost me?

No.

Do you know?

No.

And that's just

the base price!

Check out

the chrome, see?

I waited four weeks

for the chrome!

You can't get chrome

wheels at base price!

See that leather?

That's Detroit leather.

That's Detroit leather.

You got to order Detroit

leather from Detroit!

Huh? What's that tell you?

They always get you

with them extras.

Give me your

driver's license.

Um...

Give me your

driver's license.

Um, regarding my

driver's license,

I'd give it to you, but

you're going to have to wait.

For what?

Oh, about a year.

Oh, no.

That-that's when

I get one.

No, no...

When they

put it in my hand.

You don't have

a driver's license?

No.

I know you don't have

no insurance, do you?

I guess...

I hate to do this,

young man.

I hate to put a

black man in jail,

but I'm going to have

to call the police.

Black man in jail?

You ain't got the...

I'm just a kid.

No, no, no,

not the police.

Don't call the police.

No, please, don't call them.

Don't call them.

Please, don't call

the police!

They can't find out

I was driving

without a license, sir,

please.

No, please,

let me fix it.
